The Whale Whisperer: Healing Messages from the Animal Kingdom to Help Mankind and the Planetby Madeleine Walker

Going beyond the standard pet communication book, this adventure delivers messages from many different wild and sacred animal species. Voices of the white buffalo, the humpback whale, the white lions of Timbavati South Africa, orcas, and bears all speak through the author, who embarked on a spiritual journey across several continents in search of this wisdom from animals. In turns moving, empowering, and entertaining, it includes practical ways to implement the animal knowledge, conveying vital messages to help save humanity and the natural world.

EXCERPT

The Whale Whisperer is about many journeys undertaken within one greater journey: a journey that leads me back home. My greatest wish in sharing my journey with you is that it will help to reawaken your deeper knowing in reconnecting you with Mother Earth and its extraordinary diversity and beauty. We have to start honoring ourselves and the planet we live on, respecting her and all her children, for we are all connected, and the only thing that will save us is love. I have been so blessed on my journey, by the teachings of so many incredible creatures who have nurtured my trust and helped me shake off my self-doubt and overcome my fears. The more I have been taught, the more I realize that there is something much bigger. I’m constantly being told by the animals to look at the bigger picture and I’m guided to remind many clients, whom I perform readings for when their beloved pet has passed. I have had so much evidence that we all share our journeys with a soul group through different lifetimes. These include the animals that join us in our many incarnations and come back to us in different guises to continue their loving guidance. I was ‘told’ this by Sam, the Jack Russell puppy who was the catalyst in remembering my intuitive telepathic abilities. He was the first creature that ‘talked’ to me, which was strange enough, but he also talked about reincarnation, which was almost a step too far in the infancy of my reawakening and almost made me doubt my sanity! Before I recount my adventures around the world, I feel compelled to tell you about the wonderful journey the horses have shared with me, for they have been the catalysts and tutors of my re-acquired healing skills.

In my first book An Exchange of Love, I described how the horses taught me the shamanic practice of soul retrieval; how a traumatized fragment from the past could be reunited with the present animal or person, in order to make them whole once more. I believe they were re-connecting me with a shamanic past life, where I once had this knowledge. It was time to wake up, remember, so that I could embark on my journey of rediscovery in order to facilitate the re-awakening of others. The animals tell me that we are running out of time. The planet needs our help now. So many horses came into my life, teaching me the techniques that I needed to learn in order to be part of something much bigger – a small component, but part of the whole reawakening that is so vital at this time in planetary history. With the help of the animals, who are so much more in tune with the earth’s resonance, we can all be part of something wonderful that we can co-create on our beautiful planet. I have had cases where horses had suffered terrible past-life battle trauma. I was introduced to Woody, the skewbald gelding, who ‘showed’ me a horrific video-like clip in my mind of his terror at the battle of the Somme in the First World War. Many others came to teach me about the need to heal man’s warring obsession, and inhumanity to his fellow man. These horses were reincarnating to bring about change. I asked my guides why I was getting so many of these traumatic cases. My answer was that horses carry the war consciousness of man. We have ridden these loyal servants into battle throughout millennia and they have carried us and pulled our implements of death and have died beneath us. There are so many Equine Assisted Therapy centers springing up around the world, where the horses are the therapists, bringing gentle joy to disadvantaged children and adults.

Recently the horses have been teaching me a new technique. The old saying ‘when the pupil is ready the teacher will appear’ is so true for me, as the animals have ‘tutored’ me every step of my re-awakening. Animal’s human companions are also being re-awakened and healed by them facilitating the memory of a shared past life trauma, not only remembering, but re-writing the outcome – a previous outcome that was coloring and limiting their present lives, either emotionally or physically or both! By changing the outcome, the need to hold the trauma within the cellular memory no longer existed, and so the physical or emotional symptoms had no place and could be finally released. Alberto Villoldo writes about this technique in his book ‘Mending the past and healing the future with soul retrieval’, where he describes timelines and a rewriting of one’s destiny. Horses know all about this because they’ve been a part of our trauma. I believe that the horses are showing this now so that we can journey into our futures and make the planet whole again. The more I have connected with the different species around the globe, the more I realize that each section of the collective consciousness of animals seems to have contracted into performing different tasks in order to bring about planetary healing. The following is a case study that was, up to now, one of the most dramatic I had experienced and illustrates beautifully how our pasts can limit our futures and cloud our present vision, both physically and emotionally.

"...and I whispered to the horse; trust no man in whose eye you don’t see yourself reflected as an equal."
